and sadly as much as I freaking love Hauschka, I don't think we would need to keep him regardless, although I'll say it would be nice if we could keep him, it's also nice having the clutch kicker ala Brown etc.

Bennett and Tate are the obvious key ones to try to retain, and there are several others that it'd be great to bring back. But the bottom line is that due to the depth of talent at pretty much every position on the roster, there isn't one name on that list that the Hawks couldn't truly live without in 2014 if they were unsuccessful in re-signing....particularly when you factor in the Hawks' own free agent singings from other teams this coming off-season, as well as their 2014 draft class.

Tate, Bennett, Hauschka, T-Jack is a great backup, and Mike Rob because he is the shake to the beast quake. Browner is a bum, how he beat out B-Max and Thurmond is mind boggling to me. Speaking of Thurmond I'd like to keep him around just because I love his Rick Flair dance.

I think Tate is going to be pretty important to retain for us barring an offseason trade for a wideout. If you look at the class of free agent WR's next offseason, outside of Eric Decker, it doesn't really get any better than Tate. And although we would all love to see some upgrades in that department, we certainly don't want to get weaker. Maybe we can get a hometown discount. Would probably be another season before we really get alot of production from any WR we might draft. And the way I see it, you can't count on Harvin as anything but bonus if he gets it together health-wise.

Yeah I may be the only one here who doesn't think Tate should be resigned. He is not s true #1 WR. But he may be due 6m plus. I'm not sire if he is worth it. If it comes down to keeping avril or bennet or keep Tate id go with the two big boys and look to find replacement WR for Tate. This team needs a big bodied WR. With Baldwin being on tates level in my opinion and Percy being Jere I'm not sure the team should spend 6m on Tate.

We have about 74 players right now on all our lists. I imagine there are a few street free agents like Cox who will also quickly sign future contracts. This is a team that players want to play for and be a part of going forward. Sure money will be an issue but I don't see a complete collapse coming. Tate and Bennett are the priorities. There are going to be some vets who will restructure. And there's going to be other UFAs from other teams who will take a discounted contract to play here a year or two. I'm not worried. I know Pete and JS have this planned.

I'm In!

What attracted you to the Seahawks? “It’s a combination of what I believe the coaches are doing here, the atmosphere and what I think we’re going to do here in the future. I think we’re going to win and win a lot and be a championship team.” – Zac Miller, August 4, 2011

With the strides our DL made this year you need to make every effort to keep as much of that intact as possible. WR and LB are two areas where we have immediate need of quality depth. I wouldnt be too surprised to see a markedly different OL next year. So for me Tate,Bennett, Hauschka are tier 1. Baldwin, Thurmond, Mrob, McDaniel and possibly Breno would be tier 2. The others are all in play.

Rice, Clemons, and Miller should be restructured or cut. I think we could extend ET and Okung and end up reducing the cap hits cause their rookie contracts were before the new CBA and quite pricey. Red Bryant and Lynch could be possible restructures as well.

I think the same. Tate could be very replacable.

Sorry but you two are clearly on drugs. Tate is a BAWSE!

Tell that to Patrick Peterson. Tate disappears all to often and we need some height at WR.

My worry is that if we keep Tate, and Baldwin. We won't invest much more at WR with Harvin and Kearse still on the team. Hard to see them spending a 1st, 2nd, or spending FA $ for a big #4 Wr. They wasted a pick on Harper who I was really rooting for to be that Bolding type guy.

Our offense w/o Tate is a frightening thought. Tate is a legit #2 WR and an elite punt returner. If Bevell was not so conservative we Tate could put up huge numbers. Most deep balls he does not beat his corner that badly, but he goes and gets it anyway. If we want Wilson to continue to develop its important to bring back his playmaker.

#2- Bennett- can never have enough pass rushers. Him and Avril have really played well lately. #3- Probably Mcdaniel- dude played terriffic last Sunday- I've been impressed with him this year.

I love Tate as much as the next guy, but I'm agreeing with you that he is replaceable level WR. Not one that should break the bank for the hawks especially with Baldwin and Percy here.

I don't think anyone is saying Tate sucks but he is not elite and thus replaceable. I think the hawks should look at one of the elite WRs coming out in the draft. Its a deep class.
